IMPROVEMNT IN HOSE-COUPLINGS.

TO ALL WIIGM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, SIL/is II. LORNG, of Lawrence, in the countyofEssex, and State oi' Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in the llose Attachments which are used for connectingr orattaching hose to tanks, cisterne, Orothcr fluid-receivers, of-uhich thefollowingisa full, clear, and exact description, reference being had tothe accompanying-drawings, making part of this specification, in which`Figure 1 is a longitudinal central section of a portion of an ordinaryhose attached to the side of a tank or cistern by means of my improvedhoseattachment.

` .Figure 2 is an end View.

The object of this invention is to provide an easy, safe, and convenientmeans of attaching hose to tanks and eistcrns, or wherclluid is drawnfrom one tank to another, or to convey fluids from tanks, cisterns,orlvats to drains or to movablev casks for transportation, and whenpermaneutly'attaehed to a tank or cistern, said attachment may have aprojecting flange, A, formed on or cast in one with the annular portionB or flange socket, which ts against the outer surface ot' the side Cofthe tank, and may be fastened thereto by screws or by bolts, or theend I may extend beyond the flange A, and have a-coarse screw on theoutside of it'to screw into a hole made into thesde C of thetank orcistern, and when thus'arranged the flange A may be dispensed with andthe portion B of the attachment may be easily removed from one tank oreistern and applied to another. One end ofthe hoseA D is pushed throughthe annular-portion E of the attachment, the inner surface of which iscurved or flaring, and largest at the end V. A ring, c, havinga straightinner surface, and an ov'al exterior 'with annul V-shaped grooves andsharp projections toindent the leather or other material of u'liiclrthehose are made, is placed within the end of 'ltl1e"hose, so that whenvthe annular clamping-ring or portiou'E of the attachment is drawnoutwards towards the end ofthe hose and screwed into the portion B ofthe attachment,V

the leather or other substance is pressed into the sharp projections onthe ring c, and held so firmly between the said ring andthe portions Band E as to prevent-'leakage or the possibility of the hose being drawnfrom the attachment by the action of fluid passing thronghth hose, bethe pressure ever so great. i

When several tanks are used, and fluids drawn from one to another, orwhere fluids are drawn from several tanks into easks, a single piece ofhose may serve for all by having a flange-socket, B, fitted to eachtank, and;

one clamping-ring E and inner ring c tte'd to the end of the hose. Thehose can thus be disconnected from one tank and connected-to or attachedto another in'a few seconds.

By the use of my improvement allthe strength of the attached end of thehose is retained, and the greater the pressure by the action of lluidsupon the hose the tighter the attachment will hold, thereby preventingleakage. It is also connected and-disconnected much easierand quickerthan any other hose attachment.

My improved hose attachment may he applied to hose ofrubber or cloth aswell as to leather, or any other material of ywhich hose are made, andis equally serviceable on them all.

I claim ther-ing C within the end of the hose D, in combination with theannular clamping-ring E and flange-socket B, the flange A or .projectingend b, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
